Re: GD Years - Odd Or Even? |
No no. Violence is not the answer. Clearly he had a very painful experience in his past, something related to the Dead -- he trusted a woman who wore her pants too tight, maybe -- and it's left his heart two sizes too small. Or he's a Zep fan (what with being a wizard and all, and clearly a dark one), and he's mad about that thread.
We must expand his heart with the power of song. Everyone together now: fahoo foray, dahoo doray ...
If that doesn't work, you can always pick a good furniture-exploding tune to smash that wand to bits.

Ha--are these really written down somewhere:
"fahoo foray, dahoo doray ..."
Always loved those, and just never knew how to spell it out...

Re: GD Years - Odd Or Even? |
Well, it appears to be a matter of debate. "Fahoo foray" or "fa who foraze"? There are probably many threads devoted to it on Grinch forums.
But the real question is: What DO those guards chant in the Wizard of Oz? "Oh-wee-oh, we-oooohh-a" or "O We Love the Old One"? I vote for the first, and refuse to believe it's officially known as The Winkie's Chant, which is somehow just not right at all.
I was thinking we could immobilize the Wizard with the 5/8/77 Morning Dew, but in fact he could just be immobilized by sitting him in front of a computer. He'd start by searching on questions of wizardly interest and end up on a wizard forum engaged in debates about whether the best wands were made in the odd or even years.
So, no worries ...

Re: GD Years - Odd Or Even? |
Ha--another great one! Can't get it to "play" right in my head at this time, but was feeling there should be a "de" sound in there somewhere? Oh well, the Grinch one is so good I'll let it slide. ;)
But, really, the "Winkie's Chant"?!?
Damn, I had no idea...

Re: GD Years - Odd Or Even? |
The Wizard of Oz may be the number one example of a movie that's better than the book. Here's Wikipedia's description of Winkie Country, the land of the Wicked Witch. Thank goodness the movie didn't introduce us to Jack Pumpkinhead or take us on to Oogaboo.
